sleep

i need

sleep

being awake puts my life at stake

all i can do is think, i’m drowning in thought, please take

my consciousness

i do believe it is the most

likely that if i leave without a dream i will become a ghost

i don’t

think

that it’s safe to remain in this place

i need sleep to erase thoughts i cannot embrace

it’s a race, it’s a sprint

and it’s really not safe

and i’m dizzy and spinning, it might be too late

take a look at the clock

and i know i can’t chock

it up to the insomnia; i’m under lock and

i know

that

the longer i lay here the longer i think

and the longer i think the deeper i sink

and the deeper i sink the greater the link

between me and these thoughts and life without a blink

i need sleep.
